I didn't even know how to categorize this story as News Trust doesn't have a "gossip" listing. While the context on Proposition 8 is mainly true, I find it hard to believe several weeks of protests were sufficient to force out musical directors all over the state as he indicates. I also doubt that the upcoming musical production, which must have taken many months if not years to develop, is in response to this recent event. That is an example of sloppy logic equivalent to saying that because the sun rose and it's raining, one caused the other.
Vindictivness as reported here is seldom the product of a single action, but in areas of civil right, it is not uncommon to lend more credence to an action than it deserves.
I'm not a South Park fan but I'd pay to see this play! Churches that raise money as a nonprofit then pour it into political campaigns deserve more than bad PR, they need to have their IRS 501 (c)(3) status revoked.
